Case Study · Expansion Tank Leak · Pensacola, FL

    The tank failed.
    The damage didn't.

    The condo sat empty between owners, with no one there to catch a leak — but Halo did. As part of the building-wide system, it detected the moisture, shut off the water, and stopped the problem before it spread.

    A pinhole barely 0.6 mm wide — caught before it became a loss.

    How Halo works

    One building-wide system, always on.

    Halo connects sensors, water-flow meters, and automatic shut-off valves into a single coordinated system. It watches leak-prone areas around the clock, alerts owners and staff the moment something's wrong, and can cut the water before a small event becomes a major loss.

    Four steps: sensors monitor leak-prone areas, owners and staff get fast notifications, automatic shut-off valves stop water flow, and activity is visible in one coordinated system with 24/7 support
